Description
The Llanharan War Memorial is a tall pedestal featuring a statue of an infantryman dressed for battle, carved from Portland stone. The monument is situated on a shallow plinth with concrete paving, which is part of an enclosure created in 1960. Above a shallow projecting base, the tapering pedestal displays the names of those who died in the 1914-18 war, engraved in black letters within a sunk panel. The sides of the pedestal feature dedication inscriptions in both English and Welsh. On the rear face, the names of those who died in the 1939-45 and Korean wars are also included, along with an inscription on the base noting the monument's relocation in 1960.
The memorial is surrounded by a railed enclosure made of concrete paving and steel railings, with flag poles positioned on either side of the monument.
